Chapter 621: Retreat
A few people hurried to the village that the middle-aged man said.
Xu Ye was very anxious, because the old gentleman he learned from his mouth was afraid that he was already dying, and he didn't know if he was willing to help them with this.
And didn't the middle-aged man just tell them that the old gentleman was poisoned by the corpse, and he was read by this, basically because he lacked the skills to return to heaven, that is, they had no good way to save others, so how could they be embarrassed to speak?
While this may sound realistic, the facts are in front of you.
"We're here now, you guys rest here first, I'll go see the village chief, and then tell him about you, and then I'll take you to the old gentleman." ”
A few people sat down and discussed what was going to happen.
Xu Ye is naturally a little worried about his sister, and now he doesn't know if his parents are with his sister.
Fortunately, Fang Qingxue was able to comfort him in time, Yunmo also agreed to his request, and Yunmo also told him a very important thing.
He also came to find this old man this time, although Yunmo didn't know why the master let him find this old man, but the master had something to give to the old man.
Yunmo told the two of them if he had handed him a letter when he was about to leave, and then told him that if he saw the old gentleman handing him something, he would understand.
After saying these words, Yunmo took out the letter and handed it to Xu Ye.
"Come with me, I'll take you to meet the village chief, and then let the village chief take you to the old gentleman in our village, who should be at home at this time, but he is easily gone, and if the village chief is there, he should meet you." ”
The eldest brother who brought them over came over and introduced himself and said, "My surname is Zhang, and my single name is a brave character, so you can call me Brother Zhang." ”
"My house is at the west end of the village, if I am not in a hurry to take you to see the village chief, I will take you to sit at home. ”
Fang Qingxue smiled gratefully at Brother Zhang, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, no need to express gratitude to others, and said: "Big brother, you are too polite, we are bothering you, this time it is thanks to this, otherwise, I estimate that my companions and I may be lost in this deep mountain and old forest." ”
"What do you say politely or unceremoniously, thank you or not, it is fate to meet, I won't talk nonsense, I'll take you to see the village chief now. ”
Brother Zhang walked in front, and then a few of them followed.
The village chief's house should be the best in this village, judging from the house.
The buildings in this village are all stone, most of them are shoddy, and it looks like they are several generations old.
Only the building of the village chief's house, which looks to have been newly built in the past two years, and there are several wooden buildings, and the yard is fenced up, which looks small and exquisite, and he is a person who can live and understand life.
Brother Zhang walked to the door of the village chief's house and shouted a few words to the people inside.
"Village Chief, there are guests from the village, are you at home? I'll bring them to meet you. ”
Welcome just came out of it, a young and beautiful lady, looking down and generous, her eyes were full of tenderness and smiles.
"It's you, Daniel Zhang, my husband just went out to the mountain to collect medicine, if you don't dislike it, go into the house and sit down, maybe he will come back in a while." ”
Xu Ye was taken aback, he didn't expect the village chief's wife to look so young and beautiful, and she looked to be in her 30s, which should not be much older than his mother.
Fang Qingxue was also very surprised, and smiled at the other party gratefully.
The most calm of the three people should be Yunmo, I feel that it may be indifferent to fame and fortune, free and easy, he has never cared about these, he only cares about what the master asks him to do and what the master does not let him do.
"Thank you, madam, my companions and I have something to ask your husband, and I'm sorry to bother. ”
Fang Qingxue respectfully walked up to the village chief's wife and explained her intention, this is the etiquette that should be there, and it is indispensable everywhere.
The village chief's wife is a good person, nodded and said nothing, the others turned around, walked to the house, took out a few teacups, and put them on the stone table and stone bench in the courtyard.
Gently looked at the people, put the things in front of them, and poured tea for everyone one by one, "Between our mountains and wilderness, only these coarse teas can be used to entertain you, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Xu Ye paid special attention to the village chief's wife, she couldn't understand how there could be such a person with extraordinary conversation and bearing in this mountain wilderness, almost between the deep mountains and old forests?
From the village chief's wife, it can be seen that this village chief must not be an ordinary person, Xu Ye, who originally did not have much interest in this village, suddenly maintained a little vigilance and awe.
However, if you think about it carefully, this is also the truth, after all, this is the place where the ancestor of the Xu family recommended them to come, and a place that the old man can boast about like this must be a good place.
Compared with these inconsequential people, the three of them are more concerned about the old gentleman who only listens to them and does not see them.
The village chief's wife entered the house, I don't know how to go when I am busy, maybe I am going to prepare a meal, Brother Zhang accompanied the three of them to sit in the courtyard and said, some inconsequential words, nothing more than talking about the harvest in the village, and the population in the village.
"Madam, I'm back, today's harvest is not small, you look at the medicinal materials I was looking for, I actually found it today, a dendrobium that has grown more than a hundred years ago, by the way, I also saw a Ganoderma lucidum today, but the year is not big, so I didn't pick it, wait for the next time you accompany me to the mountains, let him take a long time, and we will pick it back." ”
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in as he spoke.
Wearing a cyan robe, his facial features looked a little elegant, with an excited face, holding the medicinal herbs in his hand.
However, when his eyes touched the bodies of several of their strangers, his smile suddenly stopped, and with some doubts, he asked, "Who are you and why are you in our house?"
Brother Zhang was the first to see it, and the village chief waved his hand at them, then stood up with a smile, walked to the door and explained: "Village chief, you can be regarded as back, these are the guests I brought back, and they are ...... Said that they came to find the old gentleman, you can see if it can be convenient, after all, they came all the way to find it. ”
The village chief suddenly realized, sighed, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know what to say, so he had to call his wife's name a few more times.
But since it was a family from afar, the village chief couldn't ignore a few of them, smiled at a few of them, and then said: Let's talk about it for a while, since it is a guest from afar, we should do our best to be a landlord when we arrive in our village, today I am in charge, and let my wife fry a few good dishes for you in a while, and then, let's talk while eating. ”
Xu Ye was a little surprised when he heard Brother Zhang's words, he also noticed that he had just seen the embarrassment on the face of the village chief, and he was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, did it turn out that this old gentleman was so difficult to see?
"Thank you village chief, I don't know what you call it, big brother?"
Xu Ye looked at the other party's age and felt that he was younger than Brother Zhang, I don't know if it was because of cultivation or what's going on, in short, he looked younger.
"What big brother is not big brother, I have been in this village for more than 100 years, and you look like you are only twenty or thirty years old, I really can't afford to call me a big brother. ”
The village chief's seemingly relaxed words brought a shocking feeling to their hearts.
Sure enough, it was hidden, and this person looked to be in her thirties, but she herself said that she had lived in the village for more than 100 years.
If you are an ordinary monk, you should show some old age after the age of 50.
It seems that the other party is really as he expected, not an ordinary person.
Yunmo didn't have the slightest surprise, but lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, and carefully felt the fluctuations of the spiritual power around him with his senses.
Although this is a deep mountain and old forest, no one usually comes to explore, but because of this, the spiritual power here feels more pure than the outside.
It's just that he doesn't understand, how can the people in this village manage to concentrate these spiritual powers within the scope of this village?
I'm afraid that only the village chief, or the respected people in this village, know about it, but if this problem is rash, I'm afraid they will think that the three of them have a plan, and it will not be good if there is a misunderstanding at that time.
"The village chief is really very young!" Xu Ye really didn't know what to say, so he laughed dryly twice and squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth.
"Madam, you go and put back these medicinal materials I made today, and when I have time tonight, I will pack up these medicinal materials well, and then get more dishes, and I will entertain these guests from afar at noon." ”
The way the village chief gets along with his wife looks comfortable and comfortable.
Fang Qingxue held her chin, she suddenly had a little yearning for such a life, secretly glanced at Xu Ye beside her, and sighed in her heart, because he knew that this kind of life was a bit of a luxury for her.
After all, Xu Ye is a man with lofty ideals and ambitions in his heart, and he is now at the age of hard work, if he is allowed to live with him in seclusion in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, I believe he is unwilling.
So she wouldn't tell Xu Ye about this idea, so she could only think about it.
"I don't know what to call it at the end, oh, by the way, let me say it first, everyone in the village calls me the village chief, and I also have a name, my surname is Ji, my name is Jifeng, and the one inside is my wife. Naturally, the village chief was among them, and then generously introduced his name.
